If you maintain a Tumblr blog for your business, you can block other Tumblr users with just a few mouse clicks if they harass you or send spam via private messages. Blocked users can't see your blog posts on their Dashboard and can't send you any messages. Furthermore, you can't see blocked users in your Dashboard notifications. Your blog is public so, unfortunately, even blocked users can visit it. You can, however, make some of your blog posts private.

1. Sign in to your Tumblr account and then click the "gear" icon near the top of the page to navigate to the Account Settings page.

2. Click the "Ignored users" button near the bottom of the page to navigate to the Ignored Users page.

3. Enter the URL of the Tumblr blog, or the username of the person you wish to block, into the text box and then click the "Ignore" button to block the user.

Tips

Navigate to tumblr.com/ignore and sign in, if you're not already signed in, to navigate directly to the Ignored Users page.

You can make some of your posts private by choosing "Private" from the "Publish Now" menu; no one will be able to view your private posts.
